Cool Work Why let the heat bother you this summer? Use more electricity. Keep cool. Work less. Accomplish more. Electric labor-savers cost little—to buy, to use. Save hours. Save h*al|h. mayfyj .■ Don’t live and work the ninteenth century way in this, the twentieth century. Use more electricity. Hardest and hottest of all tasks is the weekly house cleaning—sweeping, dusting, beating—daily drudgery without a Hoover. * Make it cool and electrically quick, easy and pleasant with a Hoover. Only the Hoover is a rug-beater, a carpet sweeper and a vacuum cleaner —in one. See why. . ■ See our window display. • v W. J. WRIGHT

AN EVENING OF MYSTERY AND MIRTH.

Arthuw Irwin, who will appear at the Method-ist church Tuesday evening, June 17th, is a magician far above the average in ability and is bound to please by his versatility and ability. He divides his program into two parts, as follows: Impersonator—ls given to readings, character impersonations, pantomine acting and sketches. In some of his character impersonations Mr, Irwin uses wigs and funny make-ups making still more variety to an already varied program. His “old country fidler” always proves a big laugh getter. Magician—He brings surprise after surprise as he takes you through mysteries guided by his magic wand. When he makes a ringing alarm clock vanish before the very eyes of the audience they always say: “How did he do it?” He is original, and not •only makes yoti wonder, but also keeps you laughing with, his ever bubbling humor. Given by the Monnett Guild, benefit Monnett school. At Trinity M. E. church. Admission: Adults, 25c; children, 15c.

MICKEY WRITES ME UP AS “HALF-BAKED.”

They used to call him “Lefty” and he had the league on fire with his strike-out records. Now he sulks in the dark corner of an office and tears his hair and pounds his typewriter, trying to get a dollar without working. When I walked in he was sittin’ quiet and I took it for a Society Brand poster; that’s why I stared. I been savin’ up to buy a “store suit,” but I don’t want to look like him. They ought to pull the blinds when a customer comes in. Anyway, he needn’t pick'on me; there’s others that don’t pay their subscription and he never really won all them games of baseball. He just throwed at the grandstand. I called them strikes and won the games myself. I’m wise to what’s eatin’ on that bird. It’s only sixteen days till his trial. But I didn’t bring on prohibition, and I resent him takin’ his spite out on my stuff. Too bad Mr. Hamilton can’t get better office help. You might say he’s running that office singlehanded. Have you seen that white-wheeled Oakland? She’s there like a “jazz band.”

MUSICAL RECITAL

ASSESSMENTS ARE HIGHER; TAXES REMAIN THE SAME.

• Under the plan of assessing all property at 100 per cent of its value, as provided by the new tax law passed by the last legislature, and the insistence of the state tax board that all local tax officers comply with the law, property assessments are going to be much higher this year than ever before. But this does not necessarily mean that anyone’s taxes . will be higher, for if the assessment is increased the rate should be correspondingly reduced. This law pro- ; vides that no more taxes shall be raised under it than was raised last year under the old law. I >The assessment of the land of the various townships of the county as j turned in by the township assessors , will be published in the Republican as soon as the board of review passes upon the assessors’ figures.

CAPTAIN WASSON WRITES FROM FRANCE.

American E. F. University, . Beanne (Cote d’Or) France, May 27/1919. Mr. Louis H. Hamilton, Rensselaer, Ind., Dear Mr. Hamilton: J The university closes here the last of the month and we all expect to be on our way home shortly thereafter. As you can probably, guess, the first thing I intend to do when I return is get to work. I have seen by the papers, which father sends me regularly, that there is quite a little building planned for Rensselaer and vicinity. I certainly want a chance at all of it. Most of it will' possibly not go ahead until spring and there is plenty of time to get things up in excellent shape for spring work. Have no doubt but that things will be quite stabilized by then, and markets and deliveries can be counted on to a certainty. It’s sort of like a two years’ handicap when I of starting over again, and yet" I would not change things at all. This experience has been very wonderful and will be very valuable to me.

I am assistant director of the university library at present, and’ perhaps it would interest you to know to what extent the army was able to provide books. There are 27,000 books on the shelves, a daily circulation of 2,500. We hrfve rfeading room space for 700 men, which is occupied from 9 a. m., to 9:30 p. m. A very comprehensive collection, completely catalogued and filed. They were all provided by the American Library association and were purchased in every nook and corner of Europe wherever available and gotten here in record time. Mir. Stevenson and Mr. Putman, librarian of congress, are exceptional men, and it has been very interesting to work with them on such work. The A. L. A. has certainly done very excellent work. When we close up I expect to have the 27,000 books packed and loaded in eighteen hours. There are just over 600 boxes, but we are contemplating on setting up several new records, for we are packing to go back to God’s country, and that makes considerable difference. <- Very kindest regards to you and all. Sincerely, Alban W. Coen, Oapt. Inf., U. S. A.

PITY THE POOR FISH.

Van R. Grant, son William, Frank G. Kresler and son, Frank, Jr., are to give up their 'every-day duties for seven days to journey to the shady nooks along the banks of the majestic Kankakee Where they will pit their wits against the finny tribe. Pretty wise fish are raised in the Kankakee and the outcome of the battle between the local amateurs and the gladiators of the Kankakee will be watched with much interest by their friends in this city.

ILLINOIS SOCIETY FLAYS STYLES OF WOMEN.

Urbana, 111., June 13.—“ Why should any woman desire to show her dress shields and underwear to the public?” “Waists so thin that a woman must shave to wear them are not decent.” “We cannot escape from clothes, but we may escape from fashion.” These and a variety of kindred remarks are included in a circular on fashion—its use and abuse—which has been put out by the Home - Economics department of the University of Illinois. The '’'author is Lena Hope. The circular also reveals one reason why many girls are bowlegged when it says: “Many girls appear bowlegged because the leg, which should be at right angles to the foot, is obliged to assume a slant position because of the stilted heel. , “Evening dresses described in our fashion magazine as not having much above the waist and very little below,” the circular says, “are not rare. Skirts that are so tight they reveal rather than conceal the figure have been worn recently and are about to return. “Women should, however, not, according to the circular, be criticised for spending too much thought on the dress, but should give more intelligent thought to the problem. If is not a national costume that is needed so much as a fine national taste. “Standardized dress,”, the pamphlet declared, “will never be popular. Women are too fond of indulging their taste for pretty things.” The parting shot at fashion is taken as an indictment of the injury caused to women’/ health by idiosyncrasies of dress, but it is asserted: “Fashion knows no pain.”

GRASSHOPPER TO DO DAMAGE THIS YEAR, NOT LOCUST.

Indianapolis, Ind., June 13. —Comparatively little menace to trees and crops is seen, by Frank N. Wallace, state, entomologist, with the appearance of the seventeen year locusts. Mr. Wallace says that reports of the damage done by the injects have been exaggerated. The real locust, which does great damage, is a grasshopper, according to Mr. Wallace. The seventeen year locust is to be expected this year in greatest numbers where there were forests seventeen years ago, the state entomologist declares; It prefers deep woods. As a rule the locusts will pass the small trees,^prefering the larger ones, and usually the older trees are able to withstand the splitting of the small branches, caused by the female locust laying her eggs therein. The fruit trees are the only ones which really suffer from the seventeen year locust, Mr. Wallace asserts. The state entomologist gives a warning to watch for and fight the grasshoppers.

ORDERLY MILLER WILL MARRY IN BROOKLYN.

Mr. and Mrs. J; J. Miller, of this city, have received an announcement reading as follows: ■ Mro. E. Schwab announces the marriage of her daughter Helen to Mr.-Phyl G. Miller on Junie the twenty-second One thousand nine hundred and nineteen. Brooklyn, New York. Orderly Miller is now located at the marine base in Brooklyn.
